If I worked this hard to be so negative about sports, I'd just quit watching.

 

Why is refusing to view something with homer goggles "negative"? He's not a good tackle, and hasn't been a good tackle for quite some time. Does that mean he can't be a better player in Carolina? Absolutely not. But to assume he's going to turn around is foolish at best. He's been one of the worst Tackles in the league for multiple years now. No guarantee that he's better than Bell at LT either.

This signing is at best meh. 

 

Oher is simply not a good OT. He has been terrible the past couple of seasons. 

 

Right now you should only expect him to he vet depth with the POTENTIAL to be a decent stop gap. 

 

It comes down to the money. Two years at 8 mil seems too much for a guy that has played as poorly as Oher has.

sure about that? because Oher allows more sacks per snap than Bell does. At RT, Oher allowed 1 sack per 108-109 snaps, while at RT, Bell only allowed 1 sack per 116-118 snaps. At LT, Oher allowed 1 sack per 92 snaps, while Bell only allowed 1 sack per 109 sacks

How many sacks did Cam prevent By scrambling? All those rushing yards weren't from designed QB runs.

There's a big difference between not viewing a move through homer goggles and scouring the internet far and wide to make dozens of posts about how horrible Oher is.

Last year everyone - including myself - bitched about Gettleman not addressing OT. Now he signs one and everyone still bitches. The FA OT market sucks. It's not like Jon Ogden and Orlando Pace in their prime are out there begging to play for the Panthers for vet min. Bulaga is the only proven quality starter on the market and he's probably gonna get paid like he's a future HOFer due to that.

I'm honestly not sure what some of y'all expected.

I think the mods need to start cracking down on "negative nancys"  Some of you are never happy with anything.  Can we not just welcome this guy to the team instead of bitch moan and groaning about things you dont know poo about or have any control over.

Rightfully so too. Jared Veldheer's cap hit last year was 2.5 million and he ended up as a top ten Offensive Tackle.....

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By jb2288 · Posted

      agree to disagree you are entitled to that opinion even though I find the argument completely bizarre based on data. I could type out a long paragraph discussing those areas but what’s the point. I posted a screenshot that showed Bryce in a similar post snap situation with a free rusher in his face which resulted in a TD - that’s what happened on the play so I posted it.

      I've already addressed this notion in a previous reply. You are basing your assertion outside reality if you think Bryce would have not only been more successful but defeated the Patriots in place of Herbert. Bryce got blown off the field by that Patriots team with the highest paid OL in the league. We've seen Bryce with an OL that gave up 65 sacks and it resulted in the #1 pick. And that is not a defense of Herbert or arguing he is a great QB in any way. He has physical talent but he has been similar to Darnold early in his career in terms of his very up and down perfomances. However that does not change the fact that they have significantly less invested in the OL than the Panthers.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      By CRA · Posted

      I think Tepper has been setting the stage where pending there is no miracle he wipes it all clean.  Think you already have been told that with small things like Evero staying.  Bryce is the guy next year.  OC, DC, everything stays the same.  QB room largely the same.  Nothing would really matter there.  They basically get one more shot and it goes how the schedule paired with our 27th ranked O predictably most likely goes.  Everyone out the door together.  Bryce is a bridge tier QB.  I don’t see Dave surviving where he could be bridge QB here in reality.
